I might be young; however, the last 5 years have knocked me over and lifted me up more times than I could count. Thatâs just life, isnât it? Retrospectively, I grew more than I could ever realize, but there were also more tears than I would have wanted there to be. So, here are 11 ringing bells I have gotten over theâŠ

Understanding Mathematics
Photo by Artturi Jalli on Unsplas
I grew up absolutely hating mathematics but here I am, 10 years later, trying to get through an undergraduate degree in Mathematics. My love for maths started in my English literature class. Funny enough, they are very opposing fields of study. I knew I was not good with words. In my head, if people could create wonders with the same 26 alphabets, then the sameâŠ

The Art Of Manipulation
Photo by hessam nabavi on Unsplash
It is so easy to get manipulated that some of us do not even notice. Manipulation is a way to control thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and relationships. People engage in such tactics on a daily basis. This is known as periodic manipulation. For example, telling an acquaintance you feel âfineâ when you are actually depressed is, technically, a form ofâŠ

Small habits?
Photo by Lala Azizli on Unsplash
Something about the little things that you do in your everyday life is exactly what makes or breaks your day. Now that I fairly have some time on my hands, one thing I noticed from my days, is that the little things I used to do while studying are exactly what misses me the most. While I was at my table, I had gotten into a habit of making time-lapses, andâŠ

What even is a slump?
Itâs a downturn in performanceâââa struggling ballplayer and a sinking economy are both in a slump. There are many kinds of slumps, but they all involve things going downhill. If you slide down in your chair, you slump. Other slumps are less physical.
When youâre in a Slump, youâre not in for much fun.
Un-slumping yourself is not easilyâŠ

An Occasional Burnout
Photo by Nataliya Vaitkevich on Pexels.com
The feeling of âburnoutâ is definitely not a pleasant one. This is where you remain stagnant and cannot bring yourself to do your tasks for some time period; Iâd even classify it as a vicious cycle. You procrastinate; you push forward your tasks for tomorrow and when tomorrow comes, the tasks get further pushed forward and never get done. The feelingâŠ

The Inability To Recognize Emotions

Medically known as Alexithymia, it is a marked dysfunction in emotional awareness, social attachment, and interpersonal relation. Furthermore, people with high levels of alexithymia can have difficulty distinguishing and appreciating the emotions of others, which is thought to lead to unemphatic and ineffective emotional responses.

The man at night
The man at night
Photo by Stefano Pollio on Unsplash
When I was younger, I had a lot of problems sleeping at night. Iâd sometimes wake up and feel suffocated, almost like someone is choking me; or just simply, turn my head and find a man crouching down next to my bed and staring right at me. Maybe, waiting for me to move, which I definitely was not able to, or just watching. During those times, I was far tooâŠ

Your Feelings Come From Your Brain
Photo by Alexas_Fotos on Unsplash
I was recently watching a show where one of the protagonists got a heart transplant and ended up in love. During that time, the latter kept on questioning whether it was their own feelings or it was those of the previous heart owner. This got me thinking whether our feelings come solely from the brain or is our heart also in sort of way âinvolvedâ?Â

DĂ©jĂ Vu

Has it ever happened that youâre talking to a friend and suddenly you think- Oh, this has happened before? Most of us have experienced the eerie familiarity of dĂ©jĂ vu, and now the first brain scans of this phenomenon have revealed whyâââitâs a sign of our brain checking its memory.
The term dĂ©jĂ vu is French and means, literally, âalready seen.â Those who haveâŠ

What Defines Us
Photo by Norbert Kundrak on Unsplash
Personality is a big word. It is one of the things that make us who we really are. It builds itself around our thoughts and decisions and at some point, the reason you will be having certain thoughts or making certain decisions is because of your personality itself.Â
Many scientists believe that it is something that comes from within; while many also believeâŠ

Why do we like listening to music
Photo by James Stamler on Unsplash
âWe just doâ. Yes, it can be hard to describe why we like something sometimes, but what people do not realize is that we do know it subconsciously.Â
âSelf-awareness,â it turns out, is a big reason we listen to music. There is so much more than the joy we get from music; it could be peace, emotional control, amongst many others.
The reason you listen to musicâŠ

Ending The Year

This year is about to end in a few days. It was a pretty tough year for a lot of people and it is all about to end. Weâll say âHelloâ to new beginnings, habits, thoughts soon enough.Â
We all start the year with massive motivation to do what we have in mind- âto changeâ. However, it does not always work like that.
Once the first few weeks go by, you start findingâŠ

The End Of The World

We have been hearing about this âeventâ for centuries now. It is almost entertaining reading the various theories out there about how the world will end in 2019, 2021. While I do agree, Covid- 19 impacted the world population more than what we could imagine, we are still not at the end, YET. It can be scary thinking about âThe End Of The Worldâ; my thoughts on this are,âŠ

How far is infinity real?
Photo by Reuben on Unsplash
When hearing such a question, one would normally think âyes. Infinity exists and itâs big.âÂ
But how far are we right about the concept of infinity?
The word infinity is derived from âinfinitasâ, a Latin word, meaning endless or eternity. While in mathematical terms, it is a number greater than any assignable quantity or countable number.Â

Borderline insanity

A more specific word for this would be âshell shockâ. This was a term coined in World war 1 to describe the type of PTSD many soldiers were afflicted with during war. At that time it was mostly a reaction to the severity of the many bombardments and fighting that consequently caused a sort of helplessness in terms of panic, their âfight or flightâ instinctâŠ
